I'm new to this group and love all the "talk" and hints so couldn't help but jump
in on this one.
MaryB what kind of paint are you using? I teach 6 to 60 year olds and I use 12"
squares of wax paper that I buy at the $1.00 store for all paints except
watercolor, and actually it can be used to mix watercolors if the students are
careful with it.
Anyways, this has always proven to be a great pallet and terrifically easy to clean
up for all ages to handle.
